Spring fed maybe two acres went from this at the end of May

To this in the middle of June.

Usually there is water flowing maybe an inch or so deep over that dam in the second pic. In May I noticed it had slowed considerably to just a trickle. Now it’s dropped 4-5 feet in three weeks?

Surely that much would not be lost to evaporation would it?

We need some rain! Too bad we can’t pipe water from all the flooded north down here.

I fish a pond very close by to my house. Plenty of good quality fish. It's dropping about a half foot a day. We need RAIN and a lot of it. Long term forecast does not look good at all. whip
